Earlier we reported that Godfather legend, Marlon Brando's voice will not likely appear in the upcoming Godfather game. There are now reports coming in that suggest EA has delayed the entire project until a later date.
The game had been slated for release to PC, Xbox 360, GameCube, PS2 and PSP later this year, but according to an article over on Ferrago, EA are now looking at an early 2006 release.
The Godfather is one of the most cherished franchises in entertainment. Releasing the game in early 2006 allows us more time to perfect the open-world experience of being a member of the Corleone family,
explains Executive producer David DeMartini.EA has also said that there is no plan to develop the Godfather for Nintendo's GameCube any time soon, despite earlier speculation to the contrary..
Whilst the power of the Godfather brand is expected to mean this delay won't impact sales, it is believed that EA's results prior to Christmas may be harmed by the delay - though we're more than convinced this won't do EA any real harm. In related news, EA have also confirmed that The Godfather isn't planned for the GameCube any time soon - despite rumours sourced to EA Italy suggesting the contrary. More on this soon, my children.
